Does anyone know where you can get some shirts at a reasonable price for a dementia patient that zip all the way up in front? So hard to put a shirt on my husband. He messes with buttons, so they don’t work well. Thanks for any info.
I have always found that pull over shirts work best. That’s all I’ve used with my Dad for many years now. I have a range of them from dressy ones to casual and from heavy ones for winter to light ones for summer. I use adaptive pants. They look like regular pants but have elastic waist bands. My Dad always look great.
If you have a computer or a smart phone, three companies that sell adaptive clothing are Silvert's, Geri Fashions, and Buck and Buck. You can find shirts with magnetic zippers, or ones that fasten up the back. I know there are others, and you can do your own search if these don't have what you want. Good luck and God bless!
My husband only wore pull over shirts and sweatshirts and elastic waist pull up pants. He never had an issue with either of those when he was able to dress himself. When he became bedridden I found it easier to just put zipper front sweatshirts on him and his pull up flannel pj pants as he was very cold natured and wore both 364 days a year. And I was always able to find him zipper front sweatshirts at Marshalls, Ross, or Burlington Coat Factory, so never had to pay a whole lot for them.
Jo1980: Many options for your query can be found online via a Google search. As advertising is not permitted here on the forum, I will refrain from mentioning the companies.
I am in the process of switching all of moms clothes from zippers and buttons to pull on and stretchy. She can no longer manage the buttons and zippers. Since they nap a lot anyway, I think not having buttons and zippers would be more comfortable. I am referring to tops and bottoms.
Try a sporting goods store, active wear section. I know when my Daddy got ALZ he could handle the zipper on his jeans and I had to get sweat pants for him. Wow was that ever easier. Also, they were warmer cuz he was always cold. He also didn't want to wear his snap up shirts so we went with his sweatshirt and t-shirt.

If you put "shirts for men that zip up the front" in search you will see other vendors.
